Mid-Summer News You Can Use: Getting Playful to Make the Most of Summer

Mid-Summer News You Can Use

Greetings!

What an incredible paradox! Life before Covid seems like forever ago, yet the summer is flying by in a blink! Although we are still mostly in our bubble, I am determined to make the second half of the summer really count. Don't you find that when you are more active and engaged in a variety of activities you feel like time is more expansive?

What kinds of things are you doing to feel connected, interested and in touch with summer? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Below you'll find some links on where to find me this month (and last month), opportunities for your personal growth, and some of my thoughts about how to self-reflect and turn back time by letting yourself feel like a kid again. To me, summer is all about getting outside and having fun. I discuss some of the "how tos" and the importance of living playfully in my article Not Just Playing Around: 5 Ways to Feel Like a Kid Again and Why it Matters . (see excerpt below). You can also check out my article Chasing Sunshine: 3 Habits That Help You Find the Light in Any Situation where I offer a practice for making room for positivity and acceptance regardless of the situation.

Happy summer everyone! Let's make the most of the sunshine and the best of this difficult year. See you on the playground!

Be safe and well,

Lauren

How much does it matter to me that my life consistently reflects who I want to be, how I want to show up in the world, and what truly matters most?

Not Just Playing Around: 5 Ways to Feel Like a Kid Again and Why It Matters

When was the last time you remember feeling like a kid? I mean that in the best possible ways; playful, carefree, in the moment, moving your body with abandon, a total lack of feeling self-conscious? If you picture a beautiful summer day, kids are laughing and squealing with joy as they run and play, doesn’t it just make you smile? Many adults think of play as only for children. Turns out there are incredible benefits to allowing ourselves to play, and innumerable ways in which to do so...

Chasing Sunshine: 3 Habits That Help You Find the Light in Any Situation

Can we agree that these have been a pretty harrowing few months? Quarantine was certainly never on anyone’s bucket list, and social change, while pushing us towards a non-negotiable, more inclusive reality, brings with it growing pains. We have had concerns about health, education, family, finances, mental well-being, and we may have been dealing with loss of employment or even loved ones. We’ve been living in a crappy little bubble, and basically, it’s kind of sucked.

At the same time, though, there have been cracks in the bubble where bright light has filtered through...
